Just when you think there is no chance, fate may have found a way. Kevin Smith was the showrunner for both "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" and "Masters of the Universe: Revolution", two animated series made for Netflix released in 2021 and 2024 respectively that began as an adult spiritual sequel to the classic 1983 Filmation cartoon "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe". While the reviews and fan reaction were extremely positive with the last entry "Masters of the Universe: Revolution", the sophomore season ended with a story tease of Despara (a version of Force Captain Adora) that till now…
We have the Power!
Oh yeah! Bring it on! I really hope this becomes a thing. I wonder if Netflix will still do it, only because they've stopped being the main producer for He-Man stuff at this point.
Despara is such a memorable character from the DC comics ... I mean, what wouldn't I be giving to see her accomplishing these horrible tasks, in motion this time, of course!
Fun fact: I met Grey Delisle at a con last September. Very nice person. Was wearing Azula cosplay because that's one of her favorite roles. I got her to sign the cardback of my Mattel Creations Origins Despara with a Carmelita Fox quote. From what I can remember about her role as Despara when I asked her, she told me that she knows Melandy Britt doesn't like her (Despara as a character). I brought it up to the forums a while back and some responded speculating Britt just doesn't like Adora being portrayed as a villain, which makes sense.
Also really funny thing, it wasn't until a while after the con that I found out Grey also voiced Evil-Lyn in the Netflix show. Had I known I would've asked her about it.
I did meet her co-star from the show, Roger Craig Smith (Trap Jaw) at another con a few months ago, brought that role up to him and he had a casual "yeah I did that" type response. I mean I'm way more invested in the Blue Blur he's most known for voicing. I just find it funny that I've met both an Evil-Lyn and Trap Jaw these ways.
Would love to see some more of Kevin Smith's story, especially what they had planned for Despara and seeing if they'd incorporate anything else from the 2012 comic run.
The 2012 comics really brought me back into He-Man (nearly 30 years after being a kid watching Filmation and playing with some original toys) with some really talented artists and writers.
Wouldn't say they were perfect, but they brought new ideas, some fun twists, and had a definitive start and end. 😉
Heck, they even made me appreciate the Snake Men
I wish they were more accessible to people that missed them.
@slycooperastroboy51 very cool fun facts! I can see why Melendy might not like Despara, for sure. (Had trouble logging into the forum for a few days, meant to comment on your thread a bit ago about show ideas: sounded fun, I'd give that show a watch)
Revelation/Revolution (and now the movie) are probably my favorite pieces of MOTU entertainment (from an adult perspective), and I remain disheartened at how much hate was thrown at Kevin Smith over Revelation in particular, to the point where he's still referencing it. There were obviously choices that not everyone agreed with (didn't overly bother me), but I don't see how anyone can't objectively say that it was done with a deep understanding of the universe and an attempt to move the story forward in a more mature fashion.
I REALLY hope we get an animated Part 3 to this series, although a lot of this reads like a comic, or something of that nature. I will be over the moon though if it's a new Netflix continuation series and will keep my fingers crossed!
I didn't expect to read this. I can't believe it. I'm so excited! Is it wrong to say this excites me more than the movie because it does. I'm so happy I feel like dancing y'all!
Heck yes! Let's hope this is real! I would love to see a third season of MOTU from Kevin Smith and a conclusion to the story! For the Honor of Grayskull!
By the power, for the honor, for the glory of Grayskull!
Very unexpected news. I assumed this show was dead in the water because Revolution's ratings weren't great. I'd guess that Amazon picked it up.
I'm having a pretty crappy week at work, so to read this on my lunch break has totally lifted my spirits. I'd pretty much given up hope of getting the conclusion on screen though I was pretty sure they could finish it in comics. Revelation was such a therapeutic show for me during the pandemic, and Revolution completely blew me away. My daughter was 4 when she watched Revelation, and she loved it instantly. She was so happy to stay up late at age 5 on the day Revolution launched to binge all the episodes. MOTU and She-ra POP have been something we've really bonded over, and we'll both be over the moon if the third part makes it to screen.
Please!!! Make it happen, we've been longing for a sequel. We could dream because they didn't make the sequel, but didn't announce the cancellation either.
Even if they start tomorrow it wouldn't be available until 2028. It doesn't matter.
This is very unexpected, especially how much optimism he has to actually make it. This sounds like more than just a faint possibility, if he makes statements like that.
I think Kevin Smith challenged the trolls a bit with some choices and the speculations he triggered with even some of the trailers, and he underestimated the power of online trolls and the whole cottage online industry of outrage farmers. He and Star Wars, was the beginning of a whole different online culture, sadly.
None of the MOTU media is always popular with everyone. I love NA!
The tsunami of hate was absolutely overblown.
It is the saga that made me love Prince Adam, and Orko! It had some very nostalgic and whistful moments.
Nothing is perfect.
The ending was kinda satisfying if it weren’t for that Despara teaser… I absolutely want to see her now.
I really hope this isn’t “just” a comic. (I love comics, but this needs to be a show).
Amazing, really hope we get that final part!
Masterverse wishlist:
Catra 2018 (season 4)
He-Man 2002 (Snake Armor)
King Hissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss 2002
She-Ra 2018 (season 5)
Skeletor 2002
I was actually referring to Skeletor burning Moss-Man alive and He-Man impaling Skeletor with the Power Sword - Teela throwing a tantrum is literally one of her most prominent traits across every medium. If you've watched even one episode of the original you'd know with 100% certainty Teela finding out Adam's secret would not be taking well by her in the slightest.
Based on this, your other comments, and that you just created an account I have a strong suspicion you've never actually watched Revelation or Revolution, you're just spouting off all the "outrage" talking points.
@strikerking bro, what are we talking about? If you don't like the show, don't complain. Or else then you sound like the people you complain about.
@battlecat327 ignore bro, but I just noticed Skeletor has killed Moss Man twice 😬 pretty sick
@kinggrayskull09 ha, as soon as it happened in the theater my brother and I looked at each other and said "Again?!" Skeletor has some serious beef with pine.
Please!!! Make it happen, we've been longing for a sequel. We could dream because they didn't make the sequel, but didn't announce the cancellation either.

It feels like there is a pretty decent chance for this to happen.
Despite what some people would want you to believe, both Revelation and Revolution are great shows. Revelation, in fact, is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes (for whatever that's worth)...
Don't pay any attention to the folks who were smearing Kevin Smith / Netflix / MotU (many before the show even aired!), they are just a small, but VERY vocal minority.

@grayskull1979 All I found in that show was alot of masculinity. But whatever, I guess I actually know what real men are. Masculinity isn't just your strength in muscle, it's if you are truly a good man, that makes you a man. You just wish incels like you were half the man Adam is, 'Nuff said.

@grayskull1979
A) animated Adam has never been a macho dude
B) The Netflix shows by Kevin Smith have lots of fan and brought new people and returners into the franchise
C) The franchise is so multifaceted at this point, I really doubt there is one project that will kill the line. I feel like some fans actually want to see it happen so they can say "I told you so"
@grayskull1979 be a little prick, and you are not welcome here. Look at what happened to @sci-fitsunami he was just like you, just a little more perverted. You are just being disrespectful. This is a kids cartoon made to sell toys. And you are dehumanizing people. Go beat yourself out the door.
